Atlanta—A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webcast Dec. 17 will focus on community water fluoridation.

Community Water Fluoridation: A Vital 21st Century Public Health Intervention, will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

Listeners will also hear about new communications strategies to get important messages out to the communities.

The webcast is part of the CDC’s Public Health Grand Rounds, a monthly webcast created to foster discussion on major public health issues.
